History
Zoom Phloom was built in 1985 to compete with Hunt's Piers log flume.[2] It first appeared when Jumbo Jet was in its final years, and had Jet Star behind it. It passes very close to The Great Nor'easter.
Theme
Zoom Phloom has a tropical theme, with artificial palm trees, rocks, and a waterfall. Under the boardwalk the ride plays the song "Under the Boardwalk", has people sitting on the beach, and a smiling sea dragon.
